The squeaky wheel gets the grease in order to preserve the golden silence!

Normally, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, however, in the long run, the squeaky wheel will lose respect as a whole, while the person or comminuty who states their problem and lets things go as it will knows that time will tell and prove where the true need is. People who whine less will win in the end.
It is irritating, though, isn't it?

The squeaky wheel gets greased BECAUSE silence IS golden my dear!
If you have to keep listening to the wheel there would be no gold in the silence.
Old and I love my quiet time

Don't look at me. I'm the one who was silent and got grease on his behind. I'm the one squeaked and got a golden wheel run over his chest. I'm the dark, stupid type.

because you want the squeaky wheel to be silent so it gets greased.

Good question. For all the old adages, there's an opposite. "A penny saved is a penny earned" vs. "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
I'd say that if someone tells you that "silence is golden" they're trying to tell you to shut up without being blatantly rude. :-)

If you don't shut up to think, all of that squeaking is nothing more than empty noise.
